Город

 I know you're probably yearning to see more of what Vladivostok actually looks like. Well, yesterday I went гулять-ing (= gulyat = the Russian word for just wandering about for the sake of wandering. The Russians are quite fond of this.) with some friends who needed to get to the train station to buy tickets for their Trans-Siberian journey. I, however, just wandered about taking some lovely photos for you. Enjoy!



In the middle of downtown there's a little square of outside markets.
It's starting to get a bit too chilly for outdoor fruits and veggies!

The great thing about being in Russia is that you don't have to wait until after Thanksgiving to start decorating for Christmas! Or, the big winter holiday here, Новый Год.



Eventually we made it to the station. In my opinion, it's one of the pretties buildings in the city. Later after walking around in the chilly outside, we got to warm up with some toasty piroshki from a street vendor. Yum!
